Houston Dynamo vs Austin FC Prediction: Any team will win by narrow margin

Houston Dynamo can look ahead with hope for a positive result, as they welcome Austin for round 4 of the MLS campaign. The visitors were left disappointed, as they crashed out of the CONCACAF Champions league by failing to overturn the 3-0 goals they suffered in the first leg against Violette AC. Houston have lost two back-to-back games and another defeat will put them in a more desperate position, so a win here is a necessity for this team.

Houston Dynamo have had a very disappointing start to the campaign, with back-to-back losses in the opening two matches. They lost 2-1 to FC Cincinnati and then they lost 3-0 to New England Revolution. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 2 losses, 1 win and 2 draws.

In the defeat to New England, Dynamo were the better team in terms of possession, as they had 53% possession, with 4 shots on target and 3 corner kicks.

According to the table, Houston Dynamo are at the bottom of the Western Conference table, with 0 points from the opening 2 matches.

Team Streaks:- More than 2.5 goals (7/9), Less than 4.5 cards (8/9).
